New York City - Understanding locations in New York City can be challenging. The city is divided into five boroughs. Those five boroughs are further divided into neighborhoods. It is the goal of this site to provide as accurate as possible, the locations of the Memorials, Monuments, and Makers. The boroughs will be listed with the associated county and, if needed, subdivided by neighborhoods. NOTE: Although as many neighborhoods as possible are listed for the boroughs, not all neighborhoods have listings for Memorials, Monuments, or Markers. The first three borough are listed here:
